(Whispered) We rise, we rise
Mercy, Patience, Niza, Vanessa
Lukumo, Buwame, Mapesho
For the family, for the faith
Mr. Ilela stands, the foundation is deep
Though the road is narrow and the mountain is steep
We are not perfect, we stumble and fall
But we reach for the light and we answer the call
With Mercy by my side, the home is a flame
Teaching the children to honor the Name
We live by the principles, keeping our eyes
On the One who is watching from the beautiful skies
Let the scoffers talk, we give them a deaf ear
Because the love of Jehovah is all that we hear
Nothing can separate us from Jehova's love nothing at all
We stand in the spirit, we never will fall
Patience and Niza, Vanessa and Lukumo
Buwame and Mapesho, the bond is true
Storms may be crashing, the waves may be high
But we keep on climbing, we look to the sky
Romans eight thirty-five, the truth is our guide
With the love of Jehovah, we have nothing to hide
We live by the principles, keeping our eyes
On the One who is watching from the beautiful skies
Let the scoffers talk, we give them a deaf ear
Because the love of Jehovah is all that we hear
Nothing can separate us, nothing at all
We stand in the sver will fall
Neither death nor life, nor the powers that be
Can sever the anchor that holds us
We are the Ilela' family in grace we remain
Through every struggle and through every pain
We live by the principles, keeping our eyes
On the One who is watching from the beautiful skies
Let the scoffers talk, we give them a deaf ear
Because the love of Jehovah is all that we hear
Nothing can separate us, nothing at all
We stand in the spirit, we never will fall
We rise
Mercy, and our children, the foundation
Nothing will separate us
Jehovah's love is forever
